[Samba] net view \\BIGSERVER problems

I want to share my linux printer with my windows laptop.
The printer is attached to box with redhat 7.2 and samba-2.2.1a-4.
The laptop runs windows 98 and they are connected by a netgear RP114
router.

I have been following DIAGNOSIS.txt. I had trouble with the test 2,
"ping
ACLIENT" and "ping BIGSERVER" until I added ACLIENT to /etc/hosts on
BIGSERVER and added BIGSERVER to \windows\hosts on ACLIENT.

Tests 3-6 were fine but I had to run smbpasswd -a <accountname> to get
through test 7.

I'm stuck on test 8, "net view \\BIGSERVER". When I try I get:

   C:\WINDOWS>net view \\toaster
 
   Error 53: The computer name specified in the network path cannot 
   be located. Make sure you are specifying the computer name 
   correctly, or try again later when the remote computer is 
   available.

I tried to add BIGSERVER to \windows\lmhosts but then after 30 
"net view \\BIGSERVER" seconds resulted in

   C:\WINDOWS>net view \\toaster
 
   Error 59: An unexpected network error has occurred. Quit all running
   programs, restart your computer, and then try again. If the 
   problem persists, contact your network administrator.

I need to pointed in the right direction

Thanks,
